Rapid loss of organic carbon and soil structure in mountainous grassland topsoils induced by simulated climate change. Geoderma, 442(), 116807. doi:10.1016/j.geoderma.2024.116807

Mountainous grassland soils are considered one of the most unique biological hotspots, rich in organic carbon (OC). At the same time, they are exposed to great threats, as climate warming is more pronounced in mountainous regions than in lowland areas. In this study, we assessed the effect of simula…

AbstractAlpine and pre-Alpine grasslands provide numerous ecosystem services including provisioning services (e.g. fodder production), regulating services (e.g. soil erosion reduction), and cultural services (e.g. recreation). While intensively managed grasslands specifically target the production o…
